ousoonerfan22 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 What brand do you prefer? Anybody use the Burris signature rings?posi-align? What about the double dovetail rings and bases? Would a 42-44 mm scope with adjustable objective require medium or high rings on a remington sps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: scope rings and bases? [ QUOTE ] What brand do you prefer? [/ QUOTE ] Really don't have an overwhelming preference. I have used a lot of Burris set-ups. [ QUOTE ] Anybody use the Burris signature rings?posi-align? [/ QUOTE ] Never the signature rings. But, from the quality of their standard stuff.......I'd not be afraid of their better stuff a bit. [ QUOTE ] What about the double dovetail rings and bases? [/ QUOTE ] Usually just for the big recoilers. I have a Leupold D/D set-up on an A-Bolt .375 Wby. Also drilled & tapped to a bigger screw size and glassed the bases on. [ QUOTE ] Would a 42-44 mm scope with adjustable objective require medium or high rings on a remington sps? [/ QUOTE ] I would think mediums would be O.K. But, I do not know that from first-hand experience with that exact combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: scope rings and bases? I have been using nothing but Leupold base and rings until I bought the Tikka's and they came with their own! I haven't had any problem with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: scope rings and bases? I prefer Leupold rings and bases and they will be my first choice on a hunting gun. I will go to Burris if I can't find the Leupold version I am looking for. Sometimes I can not find a certain color (silver or matte) for a certain gun and I can usually find it between Leupold or Burris. Both are good quality. But both still need to be aligned properly. I also have Weaver rings and mounts on a couple of my guns. As to if a certain ring height will work you can check with the manufacturer. To blindly say if a 44mm scope will fit with mediums, will depend on a few things. The length of the scope, the barrel profile, the diameter of the tube and the objective lens will determine how high you will need to clear. Also the amount of clearance may mean the scope will clear but not if you want to use flip up scope caps. Just something to keep in mind. Typically, I use high rings for 44 and larger scopes. Try the Leupold Mount Selector or the Burris Optics Mount Selector. I have used the Signature Rings and I will never use them again. At leats not on a gun that has more recoil than a 25-06. I have had problems with scope slippage under recoil in them. I use dual dovetail rings on heavy recoiling guns. they work just fine on my 300 Wby and my 338 Win Mag. Again this is after proper shimming and laping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: scope rings and bases? I also buy Leupold for all my scopes now. Either dual dovetails, or quick releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: scope rings and bases? I like steel rings and bases. I use Leupold and Burris currently. I stay away from the cheaper Weaver rings and bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
